SECOND SEMESTER 2016-2017


COURSE HANDOUT (Part II)

In addition to Part I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) portion here give specific
details regarding the course.

Course Number : MATH F113


Course Title : Probability & Statistics
Instructor-Incharge : Chandra Shekhar
Instructors : Ashish Tiwari, B. K.Sharma, C.B. Gupta, Jitender Kumar,

1. Scope and objective of the course:

Probability theory deals with many real life problems, which either inherently involve the
chance phenomena or describing the behavior of the system explicitly with statistical properties.
Interpretation of the system behavior in many engineering aspects depends on concept of
probability and statistics that familiarize with the computational aspects. The course deals with
basic properties of various distributions and other related things.
